Every time I am presented with a question in TripleClicks, I find it very easy to answer it because I am basing the answer on my personal experience as an ECA. For an enterpreneur who understands the potential of working in his own territory, this is not difficult to interpret or explain to a prospective ECA.

1. I start by advising the ECA how many members are on TripleClicks within my region and globally. This creates opportunities to market products both locally and internationally.

Hi Moses

TripleClicks can help ECAs achieve more LOCAL sales as easily as global sales.
Many small businesses and local independent stores may not have an e-commerce website set up, due to the cost.

With TripleClicks, if they already have a physical store or other online outlet, they will not have to pay for a New Seller License. They can list their products in their ECA store for free, giving LOCAL PICKUP as a delivery option.

They can then let local customers

You can let them know that social media is the missing link to connect their ECA to their local market. While TripleClicks is a global marketplace, there are features built in to help ECAs cater to their local market. For example, LocalPay, allows customers who are in proximity of the business to pick up and avoid the shipping cost.

Moreover, let the ECA know that they call link products from their TripleClicks account to their Pinterest, Facebook, and twitter accounts. All of these

Let's analyze what you are attempting to do:

You have a person with a local business who you're encouraging to build an online business with TripleClicks, and in addition to showing him or her the advantages of being able to make online sales using their new ECA store, you want to discuss what advantages TripleClicks can give the person for his or her local audience. If that's your goal, then yes, there's at least one specific advantage that TripleClicks can provide:

If you

When you are in the process of referring a new ECA, ask yourself if you will be his biggest customer. If not, who are his customers now? Are there any SFI affiliates within about 50 miles from him or in the same shipping area?

Tell him we already have millions of TC Members who are looking to TC to provide products they need at prices they can afford. Tell him a little about your local advertising campaign and that there are members who live right near him. Mention to him about those people

First of all, I would like to make it known that TripleClicks is not only great for local sales but for global sales as well.

In relation to local sales, I would point out to prospective ECAs that due to shipping and postage costs nowadays, that local sales are the most beneficial as you can offer cheap or free postage or even a pick up service.

To keep postage costs low as well as being able to offer free postage, local sales definitely has its advantages.

Hi Moses,
Your best bet is to simply explain to your prospective ECA's that TripleClicks is a GLOBAL marketplace with a huge audience. And that audience is growing every single day!
Take eBay for example - that is a great global marketplace too, but the good thing about SFI and TripleClicks is that so many of us - thousands in fact - log in here every single day to do our Action VP's and check out the competition etc. You could explain that people mostly only go to Amazon or eBay when

Good question Moses,

In this Business, one should have persuasive skills backed up with facts.

Approaching a prospective ECA, one should be well prepared with answers to questions that might arise. With this in mind, once we have given them our SFI business cards with the company's profile and proven track records, we should highlight the importance of tripleclicks.

1. Let them understand the terminologies and what they stand to gain.
2. Let them also be aware

First thing that comes into perspective when marketing a product that is new to your targets is what knowledge you posses of the product you are marketing.
Second on the list is if it fits the target market and how it will improve or uplift their business returns whether by sales or brand marketing.
Third thing you have to do is let them know that Tripleclicks is free to register and sell your products and only retain their commission fee on sale of an ECAs product.
You must also let

I imagine that the best way to convince prospective ECA's that TripleClicks can be great for local sales is to show them how you are earning locally or show them how local online garage sales are doing and how other online sales sites are doing. Explain that these people are people whom they can educate about TripleClicks. Then explain to them all the perks of being an ECA with the extra added international exposure with the millions of members Tripleclicks has all over the world. Explain to people
